Flea marketing (Ponies, Kitty Surprise)

[Terra]

Flea market trips are always an adventure!
It was not especially busy today, and some of the regular booths were absent, but there were some very interesting finds regardless!

3 ponies, a "wuggle pet" keychain in back, handmade bat, and kitty surprise

There were lots and lots of nice G3s out there today, but I'm limited on space, so I'm trrryyyying to curb my toy-buying habit at least a little bit.   I picked out this lovely Desert Blossom

She's so cute! And in perfect shape too.

Petal blossom, also in good shape after a quick bath - missing an eye gem  though of course, as is inevitable for these guys.

This sweet heart sister, Happy Hugs, might need some extra help though. Really frizzy, tail rust.

I dunno what this is, but I have a feeling it will be tough to clean off.

But I just can't leave G1s behind! ;n;


I got all these ponies at the same table. (as well as the lil dog keychain) and I was reaaally tempted to buy a Puppy Surprise (the 2015-ish version) that they had there for a dollar since I have been wanting one for a while, but I fought the urge and left her behind. (She had no puppies with her!) and gosh, I'm really glad I did, because I came across this table near the end of the trip:

Vintage Kitty Surprise and Pony Surprise... the kitty I always wanted as a kid, ah omg! With babies and accesories and entirely spotless somehow - Its like they were like just-out-of-the-box and never played with.
I have no idea how, actually. The  booth usually just had grungy and dinged up toys.

Regretfully I had to leave the pony behind that day, but I'm so pleased with kitty and babies.

Last thing I got was the handmade bat... Ill try to get some better pics of it later. There was a booth run by a young woman selling her hand-made stuffed animals, and I just have to support that sort of thing. :') Its unusual to see many handcrafted art sales like this at the flea market, and they were really adorable!
 The artist goes by FireSprout: https://www.etsy.com/shop/FireSprout/items

I have a pink baby pony that would have went with that pony suprise. The moms are so hard to find and are usually scooped up before I get to them.

Congrats on your finds!

Awesome finds! Congrats! And it is so hard indeed to leave ponies behind... I hope cleaning them up further will go well
